Captovation Integrates eCapture with KODAK i600 Series Scanners to Create 
Image Capture & Enhancement Solution

ROCHESTER, NY, and MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 21, 2004 - Eastman Kodak Company and Captovation, a leading provider of production-level and browser-based document capture software, announce the integration of Captovation's eCapture with the recently launched KODAK i600 Series of mid-range desktop production scanners. Availability of this integration complements Kodak's built-in Perfect Page with iThresholding and allows customers to choose which image-processing solution meets the particular demands of their application.  

eCapture's production-level scanning component - ecScan - supports the i600 Series Scanners through ISIS and Kofax Adrenaline/VRS. This gives KODAK i600 users a choice in scanning interfaces, allowing them to take advantage of the unique capabilities of each platform. Through these scanner configurations, ecScan maintains the scanners' rated speed of up to 120 pages per minute.  

Captovation's ecScan features document image thumbnail support. Thumbnails help to easily distinguish document types during review, and allow the user to quickly re-order images within a batch via drag-and-drop capability. Image Processing features include bar code and patch code recognition, blank page deletion, black border removal, hole removal, cropping, deskew, and many others. Additionally, eCapture does not meter usage, offering unlimited scanning right out of the box. 

"Mid-volume scanning challenges are precisely what the i600 Series Scanners were designed for," said Lois Powell, worldwide portfolio business manager for Kodak's Document Imaging organization. "We're glad Captovation has enabled eCapture for our i600 Series Scanners. That offers our customers yet another choice of scanning solutions, which is very important to us."

"The KODAK i600 Series is quickly gaining recognition as an innovative mid-volume scanner," said Ken Peterka, President and CEO of Captovation, Inc. "Captovation has always been proactive when it comes to certifying our eCapture product with new document scanners so that we can gauge how our software utilizes the latest document scanning technologies. I feel eCapture offers Kodak customers additional document capture features that will streamline their current document capture processes."

Kodak and Captovation were each honored with "Best in Show" awards at the AIIM 2004 Conference & Exposition in March - Kodak for the i600 Series Scanners, and Captovation for the ecNet distributed capture solution. Captovation has been a Kodak ISV (Independent Software Vendor) since 1998.
